What is the early withdrawal penalty for a Traditional IRA?

Withdrawing funds before age 59½ generally results in:

•  A 10% IRS early withdrawal penalty, and
•  Regular income taxes on the amount withdrawn  

These costs can significantly reduce the value of your retirement savings, which is why early withdrawals are discouraged unless necessary. While exceptions do exist, early distributions without a qualifying reason can greatly impact long-term growth.
